If you'll remember, and I'm sure you will. Late last month during San Diego Comic-Con an image of what appeared to be a leaked set photo of The Thing (Ben Grimm) from Josh Trank's upcoming Fantastic Four film appeared online. 20th Century Fox never came out and denied its authenticity, but some people were still skeptical. Today, the director rejoined Twitter after a bit of a hiatus and tweeted out a confirmation of the image and a message confirming that filming had actually wrapped today. Now that we know the image is legit, do you like the new and improved version of The Thing?

Update!Josh Trank just held an impromptu question and answer session on Twitter. He answered questions about: costumes, found footage rumors, Jamie Bell's motion-capture performance as The Thing, Toby Kebbell's Dr. Doom performance, Johnny and Sue connection, tone and the issue some fans have with Michael B. Jordan playing Johnny Storm.

Update #2! Seems we, the internet, have been fooled by an internet prankster posing as director Josh Trank. Collider is reporting that they have heard from a reliable source that the Twitter account is fake. While parody accounts of a celebrity are permitted on Twitter, posing as the actual person is not allowed. We'll see if 20th Century Fox pursues legal action against this prankster.

someone I trust and would know tells me @josh_trank is not Josh. Do not follow or believe the tweets.

Good cast, Good director, Fox has been on a streak with good to great films. Have a lot of faith in this. But people here only care about seeing these characters next to Iron Man so they'll piss on it.

So this basically kills all of the heat people was giving him/this film when Kate was finished filming a while ago? Either way I'm cool with the time period it took for them to film. Trank is a good guy and I respect him for keeping his mind focused on this film and less off of the negativity so many people were/are still giving it.

Other than that, I guess we'll have an official trailer/teaser come this October/November? I wonder if he shot any after credit scenes??? Hmmm...

Looks pretty bad, but not surprising coming from this movie. Been watching F4 from 05 and aside from Alba, a shit doom and poor direction, the movie is pretty decent. Johnny Storm, Ben Grimm and Reed Richards are all on point. Maybe Reed is a little too whiny/love sick, but the rest of the personas were solid

Looks more like Bedrock or Badrock from Image. But I do like the look. Still need to see more before getting too thrilled. I don't want the movie to be like quasi-real like Chronicle. I want it to be Fantastic amd more superhero.

TheAmbassador Exactly, that's what I'm afraid of most...if Nate gets rid of the images and html in the comments, that would really suck, but people are abusing the 'privileges'...it's gonna ruin it for all of us...

If it's good , awesome. I didn't hate the old FF flicks. Were they perfect? No. Although there were some fun and cool beats I did enjoy, I'll always want all of Marvel's properties under the same roof. That's when they have the capability to shine as was intended when they were created. To interact with the rest of the Universe that all the characters inhabit.
